Welcome to “Keeping It Real”
Hi friends! I’m Jame
October 31st: Haunted or Hallowed?
Should Christians avoid Halloween altogether, redeem it for Gospel outreach, or celebrate it with discernment? This article examines the history of October 31, biblical principles, and practical guidance for believers seeking to honor Christ.
Denominations?
Jesus prayed that His followers would be one, yet Christianity is divided into thousands of denominations and traditions. Are denominations inherently wrong, or can God work through them despite their imperfections? A biblical look at division, tradition, reform, and unity in the Body of Christ.
The “Worship Wars”
Christians have debated worship styles for centuries. From Gregorian chant and traditional hymns to guitars and contemporary worship, musical preferences have often divided believers. But what does the Bible actually require? A look at the history of the “worship wars” and why biblical faithfulness, Christian liberty, and worship in spirit and truth matter more than musical style.
“Personally Opposed to Abortion, But..?”
Many people say they are personally opposed to abortion but do not believe their convictions should determine the law. But what exactly does it mean to be “personally opposed”? If abortion involves the life of an unborn human being, the question cannot remain merely personal. This article examines the moral and logical problems behind the familiar “personally opposed, but…” argument.
